Christmas is Coming - And very quickly!!

Well, here we are again, today is the 20th December, we survived the birthday of Alex, we survived everyone descending on us to wish him well, and now we start the rush towards Christmas Day. My children are totally unmanageable, and my eldest is beyond unmanageable and can only be described as horrid!!!

If Santa is watching then there is a real risk of the 3 children being on the wrong "list".

So here i am today i am in my office - 200 miles from home - for the day to ensure i have everything boxed off, cheques signed, new broadband sorted and all done and ready!!

On the personal front i have now been to Tesco the other night, midnight the other night, but what a great time to go!! you could count the paying customers on one hand and if the item wasn't on the shelf the staff went and found it. My only complaint (i have to have one) was that the cages and stuff for restocking took over vast amounts of room and it made getting round sometimes a problem. I suppose if i am stupid enough to go shopping at midnight, then i have to expect Tesco to get in my way, unless they want to do all my shopping for me........

But on a serious note, Christmas is now very close. Online shopping is virtually over, the Easter Eggs are ready in the shops and sales have started. So what do we do?? shall we bemoan the time of year and the future or shall we just say "what the heck" and just enjoy what we have and will be, as well of the time of year - Carols, Christmas food, rosy faces and friends and family droppng round with Seasons Greetings.

Bah Humbug or Yummy another Humbeg to eat!! you choose, me - i guess the time to be ready to jump off the bridge is coming to an end, and now is the time, and the future is ready, to be grabbed with both hands, enjoy and smile about. Who knows to quote a famous line "next year we will be millionaires"
